Technology Process of Rhenium pentachloride

There total 16 articles about Rhenium pentachloride which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield: 57.0%

rhenium telluride + phosphorus pentachloride (10026-13-8,874483-75-7) → rhenium(V) chloride (13596-35-5) + PTeOCl7 + phosphorus trichloride (7719-12-2,52843-90-0)

Guidance literature:

In neat (no solvent); molar ratio rhenium telluride/PCl5 1/8; heated in evacuated sealed ampoules for 6 h at 170°C, cooled; PCl3 removed in a vac. at 80°C, extd. with hot monoglyme, soln. cooled, resulting crystals filtered off, washed (CH3CN), dried in a vac.; elem.anal., NMR, mass spectra;

Reference yield:

rhenium heptasulfide → disulfur dichloride (10025-67-9) + rhenium(V) chloride (13596-35-5)

Guidance literature:

With chlorine; In neat (no solvent); reaction of Cl2-CO2-mixture with Re2S7 at 120°C with formation of Re2S3Cl4; chlorination at 400 - 450°C with formation of ReSCl2; chlorination at 450 - 500°C via ReCl4 with formation of ReCl5;;

Reference yield:

SCl3(1+)*Re2Cl9(1-)=SCl3Re2Cl9 → rhenium(V) chloride (13596-35-5) + rhenium tetrachloride (13569-71-6) + sulfur dichloride (10545-99-0) + chlorine (7782-50-5)
